Clary's Cafe

Clary's Cafe has been a Savannah fixture since 1903. It is family owned and operated, and it is the place that John Berendt (author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) first met one of the more interesting characters, Luther Driggers, that he described in his famous book. It is part of the 'Midnight Book Tour,' so we stopped in for lunch. It was a blazing hot July day, and the lemonade could not be beaten! There were photos of Clint Eastwood hanging on the walls in addition to a painted mural of Savannah and a stained-glass window showing the cover picture of 'Midnight'. All the waitstaff had t-shirts with 'Midnight' logos on them as well. Still, the place had a strange 50's quality. There are a few too many flies humming in the air, but the pimento cheese sandwiches and black bean soup we ordered were cheap and yummy. The waiter was absolutely delightful, calling us 'sweetie' with a Southern lilt that made it impossible to be offended by him. When he put our bill on our table and noticed me swatting an especially fat fly away, he innocently asked if we were happy with our visit. I said 'yes' and he charmingly answered, 'because sometimes people will wait to get to the counter before telling us like it is.' My friend and I burst out laughing. If you go to Clary's know that it is not fine dining. It is also not intended to be. While it has certainly capitalized upon its Hollywood fame as much as it possibly can, many locals still grab a bite to eat at this restaurant, and we were glad we had given it a look.

Noo!Lady and Sons is sooo overrated. Don't do it! The cheese biscuits are good, but the rest is awful. Go to Mrs. Wilkes. Same area, and much cooler.
